Free Software Law in Peruvian Congress

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the god-bless-the-grass dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes "There is a story on oreillynet.com on the response by a Peruvian Congressman to Microsoft's letter opposing a proposed Free Software Law. Here's the translated letter and this is the original letter that Microsoft submitted in response to the proposed law. It's always cool to see governments trying to enact these kinds of laws and watch the Microsoft backlash against them :)."

  1. Does it apply if you take the software elsewhere? by DarkHelmet · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    Free software in Peru? I wonder if you get software in Peru and bring it back here if it's still legal.

    If so, a round trip ticket to Peru is cheaper than Visual Studio, so I know where I'm going for .NET.

    You're a fucking idiot, aren't you?

    Don't you understand the reason this can happen in Peru is that it's a povery stricken wasteland of a third world country? Here in the US, corporations have politicians in the backpockets with payoffs and bribes. That system doesn't work when everyone is poor you stupid balllicker. So go fuck your dad again.
